Looks like coraline algae to me but hard to tell from the photo. If its coraline its usually a good thing and means your doing something right!
 
Looks like Red Coralline to me. Is it hard to scrape off the rock?
 
Yup, coralline algae if it is hard to scrape off. It is a good thing and will begin to cover your rock, walls, and equipment. It helps give your tank that natural reef look.
 
It's good for your tank, just need to clean up were you don't want it on the front and side walls. And that's your choice.
